Comment on This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!
MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoMany people can’t accept that one drive model isn’t going to kill a company or make everything from them bad.
The exception being the palladium drive. Although its not directly attributed to the fall of JTS, who at the time owned Atari. Its was clear from the frontline techs these things were absolute shit. The irony is that 1 out say 10,000 was perfect. So much so I still have one of the 1.2 gig’s that still spins up and reads and writes fine. Its nearly a unicorn though.

I had one of these, it worked perfectly for years. I might even still have it. I remember it being a significant leap in size and cost per MB.

We had failure rates over 90% on them.

That is an absolutely wild fail rate.
